P&C Chicken have been trading for years so they must be doing something right. They do BBQ chicken every which way - whole dinners with a range of vegetables or burgers, croquettes, all the yummy stuff and they also have other choices like spaghetti bolognese.

I always enjoy visiting the Manly Hotel. The food is of a good quality at reasonable prices and they do have variety. The pub also has free trivia nights on Tuesday which makes for a good fun night out.

Not your bog standard pizza which is why I like them a lot. My man and I usually sit outside and eat them there at the shop This shop at Underwood is hidden a bit so you may not know they are here and drive straight past.

Approximate cost: $12.00

I love the quirkiness of The Three Monkeys. The wacky interior is great viewing and I love wondering through the cafe to find a table out back in the rain forest where I drink my tea and eat one of their scrumptious cakes. I also enjoy that they stay open late at night so you can pop in just about anytime.

What can I say. I love Perretts Pies. My favourite is their chicken pie and watch out if you have a sweet tooth. They have something for everyone and I like that they still sell good old fashion favourites like vanilla slices. I have been going here since I was a kid and now I am in my 40's. Good Quality lasts!

Need hay or chaff, stock feed, vet supplies or want more chickens for your coup? Dillon & Co have a good selection to choose from plus other bits and bobs.

Looking for the latest and greatest in plasma TV or video cameras go to Videopro for friendly advise and good advise. The salespersons here are NOT at all pushy and are easy to talk to. A good selection of products to choose from.

Darren and the boys at All About Pools know their stuff. IF you are having any problems with your pool they offer good advise and will even come to your home to investigate the problem. Great service.

Both my partner and I get our glasses from Stuart. He has a good range of frames to choose from and friendly staff to help. His pleasant and easy going personality make his eye examinations a happy experience.

Back pain gone. If you have any back pain, see David Chiang, he has magic healing hands. A friend of mine put me on to him after having great results and I too have had great results. I have also referred him to several friends who agree he is the best.
